More on Olympic Torches

Apparently the Olympic torch that was purportedly stolen from the runner after he passed the flame has been returned as was another missing torch. Officials say that the torch was never in fact stolen, instead that security had taken it from him to keep it safe. The former actor still believes that it had been stolen and later returned by the thief.

Tough call as to which way it really happened. The officials certainly don't want to lose face by having allowed someone to take off with the torch. The former actor would not want to endure an loss of face by admitting he was wrong about it being stolen, and that perhaps he even sat it down at some point.

Also in the article was a blurb about a worker finding a third torch on the ground outside a building. A dog was gnawing on the torch, which may have been an extra.
